Michael C. Carlos Museum, Atlanta

Absolutely fantastic learning experience for people of all ages. So many detailed exhibits from ancient mummies of Egypt to Grecian artifacts. Even New Age art with a few pieces that left us with our heads turned to the side and scratching our head. Guides were available in almost every room and the self-guided tour is very easy to follow. We attended on one of the free days (there are many throughout the month) however we encourage you to make a donation to the museum like we did as the experience is definitely worth it. I brought my 3-year-old nephew and 9-year-old daughter this visit. Although there isn't very much to do for children this young mine are a little bit more advanced in their exploration of art since they were exposed to it at a young age. Definitely better for children ages 12 and above. Exhibits are spaced far enough for persons that are none ambulatory to maneuver in wheelchair. There are also ramps and elevators. There is a small coffee shop on the top floor with very polite baristas. Restrooms were very clean and well stocked. I look forward to my next visit to the Michael C. Carlos museum.

Interesting collection of ancient world art and artifacts, from Mesopotamia to the Americas, located within Emory University campus. The exhibits are curated and informative, divided into different regions. I loved how they showcased the ancient miniature cylindrical stamps to show the intricate design. The Egyptian room is filled with a handful of mummies and sarcophagus, although I believe one of them is cursed. I took a picture of the mummy postured on its side and I didn't realize until I came home that the picture processing was totally eerie as it only captured the mummy and turned the whole background green. I've never had this happen to my pics before or the other parts of the Egyptian exhibit.

This was our first time going to Carlos Museum. This was the last day (8/21/2022) for the “Free Admission” special they were having. It’s a place the family will enjoy! It’s so clean in there, with a lot of interesting things to look at/read about. My husband already said he’s going to tell his friends about it. You gotta go take pictures of the ancient Egyptian mummies. And by the way; parking is FREE on the weekends in the Fishburne Deck and Oxford Road Visitor’s Deck.

Wow what an absolutely cool and interesting museum to visit! At first, me and my aunt came in on the wrong floor and there was no staff or anything lol so we thought that it was just a quick little in and out tour but eventually ended up in the right spot and we’re glad we did! This was the best $8 I’ve spent this year! The museum was way bigger than I had imagined and the variety of sculptures and artifacts varied from Asian, African, Mesoamerican, etc. It was a very cool spur of the moment trip. The only quarrel we had which was quite an odd one, was that it was really weird that there was an unbelievable hike of stairs up to the African American history area. Everything else had an elevator and walk up so that was really off. The African American art gallery was also sadly really small. I see that they’re adding some things on but gotta do better because that doesn’t look good. Overall, the museum is a solid 10/10 😍

I had the best time in this place. The staff are so kind and everyone was friendly. I learned a lot about different places and cultures. My favorite part was the Greek Sculptures. I felt like I traveled to Greece. Definitely would re-visit. I got a free pass from my library. That’s another thing the public library near you offers if you didn’t know. It’s family friendly. You will have to pay for packing here but it’s not expensive. Definitely worth it! And you will have to get a ticket for the after life experience. Amazing experience!
